#5 Atheists what is your LOGICAL rebuttal for this evidence of God's existence?

Humans are predisposed to believe In God an and afterlife

A recent 3 year study done in a diverse range of cultures in 20 nations done by Oxford University has found human beings are predisposed to believe in God and an afterlife. This is seen as an innate drive rather than a learned behavior. Both theism and atheism are reasonable responses to this drive.

Evidence strength: 5/10. Like the “Wow signal” mentioned above this is not direct evidence of God but rather of human programming by an intelligence. However when the two are taken together we have a curious question that logically strengthens the evidence for the existence of God. For if both the programming of terrestrial genetic code and the human programming to believe in God and in an afterlife were in fact done by an alien species we must ask why an alien mega-intelligence would program humans to believe in God unless they themselves did also?

Evidence strength when taken together I would place at about 8/10

    Call it an evolved drive and we can agree.

    Humans have a great tendency

    toward magical thinking.

    It has taken us thousands of years

    of civilization and accumulated culture

    to begin to successfully resist it.

    A predisposition to believe in God is not proof God exists.

    "this is ...evidence of human programming by an intelligence" - an unfounded and unsupported assumption.

    I am so sorry you don't understand basic logic.

    Atheism is rigged, they demand "just a tiny bit of evidence to believe" don't believe any evidence that's presented, then when asked what would convince them they don't answer and get all b*tchy

    A predisposition to believe in god and an afterlife is not evidence of god's existence. It is evidence that human beings have always searched for answers to things they do not understand, and in general that they fear death, and it's implication that it is the absolute and final end.

    Which god do you personally want to exist and which gods do you want to be fantasy?

    Prove which god is real. You have plenty to choose from

  • Atheists have no logical rebuttal for the existence of God, dear. All they have are logical fallacies that they demand are logical and intelligent, which goes to show how stupid atheism actually is, dear.
